our All Wood caskets are locally sourced and biodegradable for green burial.

caskets are hand delivered, shipped directly to individuals, or acquired through funeral homes.

“My entire family took great solace in each of the four children being able to hammer in a peg to seal the lid. The smell of the finish and of the pine in the…living room was one that was universally appreciated.”

Carolina Casket Makers Collective (CCMC) believes in the beauty and simplicity of a 'plain pine box'. We strive to provide all wood caskets directly to families for greener and more natural burials.

We believe families should have choices and reclaim end-of-life ceremonies, whether they're at home by the garden or in a funeral home. We also believe families shouldn't spend enormous amounts on bells and whistles, if all they want is a plain pine box.

Our handcrafted vessels are simple, but they are made to respect the Earth and honor each departing Life with dignity.

We Help Make Green and Natural Burial Possible

Finding a biodegradable casket, coffin, or shroud for a green burial can be challenging. We strive to help families create meaningful ceremony in whatever space they choose.

We work with Aldergrove Caskets, maker of handcrafted pine caskets for green and natural burial.
